Projectdetails

Introduction

Our value proposition is improving cancer therapy by identification of novel anti-cancer candidate drug leads modulating transcription termination, bridging molecular cancer biology and therapeutic applications.

Methodology Development

We have developed a methodology to directly measure alterations in transcription termination.

Miniaturization and Automatization

Successfully, we subjected this methodology to miniaturization and automatization processes.

Funding Application

We are applying for funding to validate a screening platform to identify small molecule inhibitors of transcription termination.
